| Abstract | Improving walking ability is one of the main goals of a rehabilitation procedure. New technologies based on Virtual Reality (VR) has been recently flanked standard therapies. In this study, 4 children suffering from acquired brain injury (ABI) underwent a 5 session treatment with the Gait Real-time Analysis Interactive Lab (GRAIL), to improve walking and balance ability. The GRAIL is an instrumented multi-sensor platform based on immersive virtual reality for gait training and rehabilitation in engaging VR environments, which has been included in few studies to evaluate gait patterns in normal and disabled people and to improve gait in adults. Results are promising: improvements were recorded at the ankle level, selectively at the affected side, and at the pelvic level, thus improving the walking pattern symmetry. Small changes were measured at the hip and knee joints, which were already comparable to healthy subjects. These results suggest that a longer intervention may be even more effective. In the next future more children will be enrolled to strongly prove the effectiveness of GRAIL in the rehabilitation of children with ABI. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
